I tried booting 4.2 i386 images (amd64 did not work) on my macbook. In
every case (bsd.rd, bsd and bsd.mp) I got the following as the first
kernel message:

"kbc: cmd word write error"

For all kernels, I enabled acpi and disabled apm.

I have noticed that this seems to happen for every kernel, but with my
Macbook Pro (Core Duo) it has not caused any issues with the keyboard.
I remember that there have been some issues with the Macbooks and
their keyboards. Most users reported that using an external keyboard
(most used usb) solved the issues. I believe that this is probably the
only way that you will be able to get your Macbook running properly,
unless someone has fixed this.

I would love to have more information on Macbooks and their issues, so
that I can update my guide. If you happen to find another solution
that does not involve external keyboards, please let me know.
